its not the 1st time the loan shark had been harassing my family already.
it was my brother,he's only 20 this year, started betting on online soccer bets website etc etc
at first , he won a little , which got him really into gambling afterwards.
then , when he started losing , he borrowed money from poly friends, gaming friends, relatives and whoever he could thought of to pay his debt off from the soccer bets website.
of course he went to my parents b4 them.
expected , my parents gave him a harsh warning , cane him etc etc
back then he was only 18.
once , he owe loan shark about 30k++ and he stole my mum's jewellery and rolex watch from my dad and bottles and bottles of wine to turn into cash in return to the loan shark. that makes my parents totally give up on him and my dad even fainted when he found out about this. nevertheless, when we thought everything was over, he did it again...
over the past 2 years , he didnt change but he got bolder and bet even more like 1k 2k 5k on a single match , and when he lose , he go to my dad thinking that my dad is his ATM when my dad only holds a job that pays him 2k a month. counselling was done but he just wont change!!!!
and just last week , he move to my grand's hse to live because he dont wanna stay at home anymore.
thinking that all was alright , a phone call called our hse again to look for my brother and threaten to set fire on our hse if we failed to pay up tonight..
dad called home and said brother owe $35k again along with 20 sets of loan shark....
dad was firm not to pay anymore because he really do not have the $$ already and if we paid now and my bro borrow again , the cycle just repeats itself...
dad was so helpless and keep asking me what should we do next? why did our family end up like this? but i couldn't answer his question ...
all we did was to report to the police and cover plastic sheet on our main door..
im really very helpless now, facing the main door open to do a lookout while doing my project work late every night till 3 or 4 am ... but how long can this last??
Nowadays people pay assasin to kill loan shark. So instead of paying money to loan shark should hire assasin. Nah, I am joking, dun take me seriously.Only way is to send yer bro to foreign country, then only he experience change n independence. Send him to Indon lah. There got fewer gambling problem. To some muslim village where people r pious n dun gamble wan.

Gambling was NEVER the problem, it is the people who cannot control themselves that is the problem.
I do gamble, about $1-2 per toto draw and it's not affecting my lifestyle because I know how to control myself. I don't bet big (or even exceed $3 per draw) when group 1 is big because I know the odds are still the same. Occasionally, I do win some small amounts (and once grp 3) and reward myself with small treats and it's fun gambling.

huh, $1 to 2 only, that is not gambling lah, that is playing playing only. Gambling is different ya, a gambler bet on all things that their hand touch on, it is not a name that anyone here can befit to call themselve a Gambler.
Aiyo, 1 to 2 dollars also come here...chay
